Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

The torn bodies were so bloody in the hall. Those who could stand here were all high-ranking people in the Zhao army. Which ones had never experienced a war, and which ones had never seen bloody scenes, but at this time, they still felt something. A chill that comes from deep within.

Not for anything else, but because they themselves have no confidence to resist at this time, and the fear that cannot be overcome is the real fear.

While everyone was looking at each other, Yang Ming said calmly: "Okay, following on from what I just said, when you go back, please restrain your troops and do not move them around at will, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Also, General Yan, it’s time to open the city gates and let the general’s troops enter the Great Wall.”

Listening to Yang Ming's story, the expressions of everyone in the hall couldn't help but soften. The surrender seemed a little different from what they imagined. Yang Ming was neither arrogant nor made any excessive demands, and they seemed to also You don't need to do anything more, you just need to open the Great Wall passage and keep everything as it is.

Moreover, from the beginning to the end, Yang Ming seemed to give them a lot of face. Although he did not have too much respect, Yang Ming was Yang Ming after all. He was the one who defeated Wu'an Lord Li Mu and broke the Zhao capital. Such When people are victors, they can still give them face. It seems that they can't have too many extravagant expectations. People, if others give you face, you have to keep it. You can't do things that are too tight.

As the general of the Zhao army, Yan Ju breathed a sigh of relief. This time, his choice was not wrong after all. At least he could see the future and not even lose tomorrow.

After all, there are only a minority of people who think about how to die. Most people still think about how to live. This is the most basic pursuit of most people.

With the surrender of the Zhao army on the southern Great Wall, the fortress that had blocked countless attacks by the Qin army was naturally no longer an obstacle to the Qin army. When 200,000 Qin troops crossed the Great Wall and entered the hinterland of the Zhao state, the hope that the Zhao state had had was finally At this time, there are a total of 350,000 troops in the Zhao Kingdom. Such a huge army is enough to complete the full occupation of the Zhao Kingdom. Even if the Yan Kingdom is taken advantage of, it can only be regarded as an ordinary thing.

"Yang Hujun, congratulations." Wang Jian, who met Yang Ming again after saying goodbye to Xianyang, said to Yang Ming.

"I also want to congratulate the general." Yang Ming said, the credit for destroying Zhao cannot be swallowed by one person. If you have benefits, you must learn to share them. Only in this way can things last longer. Yang Ming naturally understands the truth. of.

This time to destroy Zhao, although Yang Ming defeated Li Mu, captured the capital of Zhao, and surrendered the Zhao army on the Great Wall in the south, he had not yet completed the full occupation of Zhao. This matter still needed Wang Jian to complete. After all, under Wang Jian's There are a full 200,000 Qin troops under his command, and Yang Ming's army is no longer that sufficient in terms of strength when it needs to occupy the capital of Zhao and guard Zhao's surrendered troops.

"That's the same joy." Wang Jian smiled, and then asked: "What plans does Yang Hujun have for the next thing?"

"To completely occupy the Kingdom of Zhao, we need the efforts of the general." Yang Ming pointed to the north and continued: "With the Zhao capital as the border, the eastern lands will be in charge of the general, and the western lands will be in charge of me. Occupy, I wonder what the General thinks?"

"That's it." Wang Jian replied without hesitation.

After Taiyuan County was captured by the Qin and Zhao armies, the State of Zhao could be said to have been forced to lose weight. With HD as the boundary, the eastern part of the east and west of the State of Zhao was naturally more fertile, especially when the State of Zhao occupied the territory that originally belonged to the State of Qi. After the Rao'an Zhucheng, the economic center of Zhao State moved further eastward. Yang Ming gave Wang Jian the responsibility for the eastern lands of Zhao State, which was considered a great favor to Wang Jian.

"Then let's say goodbye and let's see who among us reaches the border of Yan State first." Yang Ming said.

"I have exactly what I mean." Wang Jian laughed loudly. He had long known that some things were not just his own wishful thinking, and Yang Ming also knew the truth behind it.

Of course, Yang Ming assigned the eastern region of Zhao to Wang Jian. In addition to what Wang Jian could think of, he also had his own considerations. Now he has surrendered more than 150,000 Zhao troops. Although so many Zhao troops have surrendered , but it is still an army after all. How to deal with this Zhao army safely and effectively is a question that Yang Ming must consider.

Previously, Wang Jian did not choose to launch a fierce attack when the people of the Great Wall in the South were in a state of uncertainty. In addition to the reason he told Wang Ben, there was also this consideration. Because of the surrender, Yang Ming was able to quickly capture Zhao State, but the corresponding response was only More subsequent affairs will be added. It is impossible for trouble to disappear on a large scale out of thin air. It is usually just a choice.

Hundreds of thousands of Zhao's surrendered troops gathered together. If the hidden power was accidentally exploded, even if the Qin army could quell it, it would still be very painful. What's more, what Qin wanted was a complete Zhao State, not a Zhao State with ruins everywhere.

People are not weeds. If you cut one wave, another one will grow. If it only causes more trouble for yourself and allows more people to live and live better, Yang Ming is naturally willing to do it.

While Yang Ming was preparing how to solve the problem of Zhao Guo's surrender, another person was suffering unbearable suffering.

The greatest fear is not when something terrible happens, but when something terrible is about to come. This principle applies to Guo Kai now.

After the Qin army occupied the capital of Zhao, his Prime Minister's Mansion was completely surrounded by the Qin army. Not even a dog, let alone a human, could get out. And he was the only one in the entire Zhao capital to receive such treatment. One serving.

Guo Kai simply couldn't imagine how Yang Ming planned to treat his enemy, especially when he was being treated specially, and he couldn't allow him to think too much.

"Master Xiangguo, haven't you thought about it yet? Your time is running out. Yang Ming went south to recruit the Zhao army that surrendered to the Great Wall in the south. He will soon return to the Zhao capital, and then his liquidation will begin." Qin Wuyang said in recent days Guo Kai, who has lost a lot of weight, said next to him.

"Is Prince Yan really sure of killing Yang Ming?" Guo Kai asked.

Although Yan Dan's plan looks good, Guo Kai doesn't dare to believe it. You must know that it is Yang Ming. How can it be so easy to deal with? There may be someone who can deal with Yang Ming, but is that person Yan Dan? Guo Kai is really very Suspect.

Moreover, in front of Yang Ming, he was not certain to die. He also had a bargaining chip in his hand. That bargaining chip might be able to save his life. After all, he only did what the Empress Dowager Zhao wanted. He could be regarded as an accomplice, but the culprit was Empress Dowager Zhao. He felt that as long as he took out the bargaining chip, it was possible to save his life even if he paid a huge price.

But if he cooperates with Yan Dan, if he fails to succeed, he will really die without a burial place.

Yan Dan weighed the possibility of saving his life. Guo Kai had deep doubts about Yan Dan's ability. If Yang Ming and Yan Dan were to change positions, Guo Kai would definitely agree to cooperate without hesitation. , but Yan Dan...

Thinking of the Yan Dan information he had, Guo Kai really couldn't make up his mind.

"The Prime Minister can distrust His Highness the Crown Prince, but doesn't he still believe in our Mo family's mechanism Qinglong? That is the most powerful war weapon made by the founder of our Mo family. It can surpass the strength of the grand master, and the war machine of the peasant family is not comparable to Our Mo family's mechanism, Qinglong, is weak, and coupled with the peasant family's great master, as long as Yang Ming can be lured into a trap, how can he survive?" Qin Wuyang said confidently.

Qin Wuyang believed that no one, not even Yang Ming, could survive under the convergence of those three forces. In his opinion, Guo Kai's suspicion was just that he didn't understand what it meant when those three forces merged into one.

Just like Guo Kai's doubts about Yan Dan, Qin Wuyang also has a kind of confidence in that power that is hard to destroy.

"I just don't really believe in Yan Dan." Guo Kai sighed. At the moment, he seemed to have no choice but to trust Yan Dan once.

Hearing Guo Kai's words, Qin Wuyang couldn't help but frown, but thinking about his mission this time, he still suppressed the anger in his heart: now no matter who is going to make concessions for His Highness the Crown Prince's plan, Guo Kai's attitude towards His Highness the Crown Prince No disrespect, I just need to remember to wait for the task to be completed and then settle it slowly.

After Yang Ming returned to Zhaodu, an edict from Xianyang appeared in front of him.

Qin Wangzheng and Zhao Ji were going to visit the Kingdom of Zhao in person. Yang Ming had expected this. However, when the edict appeared in Yang Ming's hands, Yang Ming was really relieved. If nothing else, many of Yang Ming's plans in Zhao State can really only be promoted by Qin Wangzheng himself. He is just a person who leads the troops. In the follow-up matters after the occupation of Zhao State, it must be carried out by Qin Wangzheng. The government personally came forward or sent officials like Chang Pingjun who were responsible for specific government affairs to promote it. If Yang Ming did it himself, although he could do it well or even better, it would have exceeded his authority after all and was very criminal. taboo.

Especially this year, the catastrophe of Zhao State has become a foregone conclusion. This was originally a problem that would trouble Zhao State, but now it has become a problem that Qin State must solve. If the epidemic spreads, the combination of hunger and national subjugation will cause huge troubles.

However, from another aspect, this year's catastrophe is also an opportunity for Qin. If Qin can allow Zhao to survive this year's drought stably, even if it cannot win the hearts of the Zhao people, it can still win the hearts of the Zhao people. To a great extent, the hostility of Zhao people towards Qin was reduced.

In the already inevitable drought, it can be said that crisis and opportunity coexist.
